Welcome to the forum, Arlender.

You might want to have a look at the Getting Started Guide, which you can find in the link to PDF manuals in my signature below.

OpenOffice natively saves files in .odt (for text) or .ods (spreadsheet) format. You have to tell it to save the files as .doc (Word) or .xls (Excel). You can find these options in File> Save As, in the drop-down menu labeled "Save as type:". Choose Word (or Excel) 97/2000/XP. It's the most widely readable format in MS Office (its various versions are not very well cross-compatible with other versions of itself; 97/2000/XP is the closest it comes to full compatibility).
